To be honest it wasn't that long ago when FreeBSD didn't scale well (or even support SMP without patching).
I keep meaning to give Dragonfly a spin but never get the time, however I do think it's well worth a look as it has a ton of unique / interesting features. I quite like the look of their file system.
